A video of an act of revenge against a roommate has gone viral on YouTube. 

It began when Cal, the roommate of the uploader, Nick, chopped an axe into Nick’s car on his way home as a prank. Enraged, Nick planned to take revenge by chopping an axe through Cal’s car. Nick used all of his savings to build an axe that was 13 meters tall and weighed over a ton.According to the video, it took over a month to design the weapon and execute the prank.

When everything was ready, Nick showed Cal how his car had been destroyed by the gigantic axe, using video chat and showing the scene repeatedly from eight different angles.

In the beginning, the two played harmless pranks on one another. Nick wrote on the description bar, “Wow, that escalated quickly. All I gotta say is don’t start something you can’t finish,” admitting that their pranks had gone up a notch.
